Bull Inn is a hotel in Reading, set in Sonning on Thames, with a location that makes it easy to move between a quieter village setting and the city. From here, Reading is a short drive away, while Henley-on-Thames and the Henley Royal Regatta Headquarters are also within easy reach.

Inside, the bedrooms are styled to a high standard and still keep original features, so you get comfort without losing the character that defines the house. Some rooms may include a balcony or terrace, and the property also offers views, which adds a welcome sense of openness after time on the road or in the city.

Wonderful cosy hotel
Great location. Well organised and friendly staff. Restaurant excellent.
Great location and history but with some unexpected external noise
Overall a little luxury treat - would recommend but only if you don’t mind steep stairs…
Positively perfect in every way.
